Mix and Match: Unleash Your Creativity with Customized Dupattas
Dupattas are no strangers to the world of fashion.
With Indian fashion expanding its roots internationally, Dupattas are no longer restricted to ethnic wear; they are a part of global fashion with unlimited styles. That is where the true beauty of dupatta mixing and matching begins, where you can create your very own sense of style in custom-designed dupattas.
Without taking much of your time, let us quickly see how customized dupattas add oomph to your outfit.
Why Customize Your Dupatta?
When you customize a dupatta, it is not just a simple fabric; it represents a creation of your personality.
Starting from the type of fabric, the ornaments (jewelry), the prints, and the size of your drape, customization guarantees that it fits your wardrobe perfectly, providing versatility to wear it with different outfits.
A dupatta adds a statement to the most basic ensembles that can be transformed into an absolute stunner.
Customized Dupattas with Traditional Outfits
There is nothing quite like an Indian outfit and dupatta, but with customization, the pairing goes beyond the ordinary. Here are some creative pairings:
1. Anarkali Suits
Traditional Style: Are you pairing your Anarkali with a heavy Banarasi dupatta? The Banarasi undoubtedly gives your outfit a royal and rich look, and when combined with the shape of the Anarkali, it appears elegant. However, here, you can also play with fabrics and prints to give your look a contemporary spin!
What’s the Contemporary Spin? Choose an Anarkali suit in a single color and wear it with an ombre or a printed dupatta. For fabric, go with silk, chiffon, or georgette.
Expert Tip: Velvet dupattas should be worn in winter weddings to retain elegance without compromising on the royal fabric.
2. Lehengas (Bridal)
Statement Dupatta: Customize your bridal dupatta with Zardozi or mirror work! A dupatta with this detailing would definitely add a statement to the lehenga.
Dual-Draping: Wear your lehenga with two contrasting dupattas. The first can be placed over the shoulder while the second can be placed on the head, which gives the bridal look a regal feel.
Expert Tip: Stitch tassels or beaded edges if you want a touch sensation to change your dupatta altogether.
3. Sarees
Drape Play: Drape a plain saree and then drape a sheer organza or tulle dupatta on it to add dimension and glamour.
Fusion Look: A printed dupatta should do the trick for anyone tired of seeing plain silk or chiffon sarees.
Expert Tip: Tuck your dupatta and saree in such a manner that both ends are belted for a modern look.
4. Salwar Suits
Mix Patterns: A polka dot or stripe (print or embroidery) on the dupatta can add a chic look to a simple salwar kameez. It makes your outfit perfect for casual outings and work affairs.
Expert Tip: Make sure to contrast the dupatta with the overall simple design of the fabric.
5. Sharara or Gharara Sets
Heritage Styles: A beautiful embroidered organza dupatta will add elegance to your sharara, and if you further accentuate it with thread work, you are putting together the most beautiful look.
Expert Tip: To get even more out of the shararas, choose a dupatta color that goes well with your other outfits.
Pairing a Dupatta with Western Outfits
1. Dresses
Layered Chic: If you are going for a bohemian look, try a floral or a printed dupatta with a skater dress.
Evening Elegance: Want to get ready for an evening affair? Let a silk or sequin dupatta be draped formally over a slit dress (preferably plain).
Expert Tip: Wrap a belt around the waist to give your dupatta a shape and a touch of glamour.
2. Jumpsuits
Fusion Fun: A colorful and heavily printed dupatta should do well when worn with a jumpsuit in a singular color tone. Tuck it into one side of your body for a laid-back bohemian fusion outfit.
Cape Alternative: Tuck it by styling it like a cape. It will only add to the glamour.
3. Denim Looks
Casual Layers: Layer a block-printed dupatta to add chic to your regular jeans and tee outfit.
Expert Tip: The most suitable fabrics for everyday layering include light fabrics such as cotton and linen. Do not tie the knot of a dupatta like a scarf.
4. Skirts and Blouses
Bohemian Allure: How about teaming a light dupatta with a long flowing skirt and a crop top to give it a festival look?
Formal Balance: A structured dupatta with fine embroidery can be draped like a jacket over pencil skirts and tailored blouses.
Expert Tip: Finally, attach trims such as pom-poms or fringes on your customized dupatta design for that vibrant look.
5. Pantsuits and Blazers
Bold Fusion: Partner ethnic wear with a pantsuit by draping a printed or textured dupatta over one of the shoulders to own an ethnic chic power look.
Cozy Glam: You can replace your scarf or pashmina with a woolen or Kashmiri dupatta during winter.
Expert Tip: Please focus on the type of fabric. The two must harmonize in color or texture to achieve a neat look.
Top Styling Hacks to Get Right Anytime You Style a Dupatta
Jewelry: Jewelry plays an important role! Experiment with minimalistic, oxidized, and heavy jewelry to elevate your look. Make sure your jewelry does not overpower your customized dupatta.
Versatility: Choose reversible styles with different colors or prints on the front and back for double use.
Maintenance: Take extra care of lightweight fabrics and delicate detailing. We recommend you store your dupattas nicely, either folded or on hangers.
When it comes to accessorizing, customized dupattas have the ability to revive your whole wardrobe. Whether worn with traditional Indian wear and jewelry or incorporated into Western wear, you will always be a fashion queen with it.
